Am I the only one who thinks it sucks that these genma guys were not introduced earlier? The Third got killed, Konoha got smashed to bits and all the while these guys were absent? Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that its possible now for Naruto to inherit his father's signature jutsu, just would have liked to have that prospect presented earlier. Anyway, this is a bad ass set of chapters we have been treated to by Kishimoto

Epic chapter. Still think Madera will hold his own against them for quite some time. If it was him alone, i'd say he would lose, but for him to have EMS, the Rinnegan and some of Hashirama's power, he can't be beaten, and if he is, i'm sure he would have killed a couple Kages as well.
That said, the best way to deal with him seems to be using the Shiki Fujin technique. Will Tsunade go out taking him along...........assuming she can pull off the technique?

I hope Naruto gets some time with the Fuin No Sho(Think thats the name of the scroll he learnt kage bunshin from). I'm sure he would be able to do all sorts of stuff with it at this point, but he seems pressed for time. If only he had a hyperbolic time chamber, things would've worked out fine.

I don't think regular sealing techniques will work on someone with the Rinnegan. They would simply blast it away. What i do believe however, is that high level sealing techniques like the Sword of Totsuka and Shiki Fujin are the exception. That's because, simply put the sword is a one-hit KO(best way to describe it, i guess) and the Shinigami seems unaffected by "physical" techniques, so once he latches onto your soul, its just the matter of yanking your soul out.

I wonder if you can seal someone who uses a Doujutsu like the Rinnegan. I mean, Shinra Tensei should work even if his eyes are closed, right? Nagato used ST to blast off Amaterasu from his body.

Well, Nagato was technically sealed, but it wasn't so much placed on him as stabbed through him, so I guess maybe it's possible. If Sasuke can use Susano'o to break a movement-binding seal, I see no reason why something like Shinrai Tensei or the chakra-absorbing shield couldn't do the trick.
